- Reinforcement bars (Rebar)
- Post-tension cables
- Electrical conduits
- Pipes and plumbing
- Voids and structural anomalies
- Variations in concrete thickness
Our advanced equipment delivers real-time imaging, allowing us to identify hidden obstacles before any work begins. This approach saves time, mitigates risks, and helps avoid costly surprises. Whether your project involves drilling, cutting, or assessing structural integrity, our concrete scanning services provide the crucial insights needed for safe, efficient, and informed execution.
Applications of Concrete Scanning
Our services support a wide range of industries and project types, including:
- Construction & Renovation: Verify structural safety before cutting, drilling, or coring.
- Utility Location: Precisely locate underground pipes, conduits, and other services.
- Structural Assessments: Identify voids, cracks, and irregularities within concrete.
- Coring & Cutting Preparation: Prevent costly errors by uncovering hidden obstacles.

FAQs About Our Concrete Scanning Services
Concrete scanning is used to identify hidden objects and assess structural conditions before any drilling, cutting, or coring. It helps prevent damage, ensures safety, and provides valuable data for project planning.
GPR sends electromagnetic waves into the concrete. When these waves encounter different materials—like rebar, pipes, or voids—they reflect back to the surface. The reflections are then processed into a detailed image of what lies beneath the surface.
Yes. Scanning is essential to avoid hitting hidden utilities or structural elements, reducing safety risks, preventing costly repairs, and improving project efficiency.
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the area. Small areas can be scanned in under an hour, while larger or more complex surfaces may take several hours. A time estimate is provided before work begins.
Concrete scanning is highly effective at locating most common embedded objects, including rebar, post-tension cables, pipes, and voids. Some extremely dense materials or unusual obstructions may require additional inspection for complete accuracy.
